Perth

Had a great week in Perth! We stayed at a private property on 10 acres just south of Perth which was awesome. This place was VERY social, and we spent a couple of big nights in the communal shed around the fireplace.

Only a 30 minute drive in to Perth where we checked out the city, Kings Park, The Bell Tower, Elizabeth Quay and we did a 2 hour cruise on the Swan River. This cruise took us up to Fremantle and back where we saw all the river-front mansions of Perth's rich and famous. Also spent a day touring the beaches from Fremantle up to Cottesloe, City, and Scarborough beaches...Cottesloe being our favourite.

Much to Marg's disgust, I took her to a guided tour of the WACA. Only four on the tour and really enjoyed checking out the Bradman Room ($3300 per season), the Stump Lounge and the museum. Watched Justin Langer and Geoff Marsh training the WA team while we were there. I think Marg enjoyed it more than she thought she would...

We also took advantage of cheap tuesdays and went over on the ferry to "Rotto" where we cycled 11km around the Island checking out all the beaches, lighthouse and of course the Quokka's.

We loved Fremantle where we had a couple of dinners out, fish and chips at the famous Cicerello's, and did a tour of Fremantle Gaol.

Weather was cold when we first arrived at 4° one morning, but warmed up to 12° - 23°Читать далее
